This is an adventure game in an interactive comic book style. It was one of
the first CD-ROM-only games that was furthermore a complete new development for that
media and not only a port of another version such as an already existing floppy disc
game or a laserdisc arcade machine. It won several awards, such as "Best Adventure
1989" in Japan. The game sold below expectations of the developer also because CD-ROM
drives were not yet widespread at that time. Basically it is a detective adventure
game in which with your help, private eye Ned Peters has to figure out the identity
of the murderer by wandering around the rooms, looking for clues and overhear
conversations between the other guests aboard the Spruce Goose-like flying boat
"Condor" on a cruise over the Atlantic. The game has no text because all the dialogue
is being played from the CD and the interface is completely mouse-driven. |
